Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC

Golden Valley, MN 55427
Nikhat (knee-cot) has a super positive vibe about her. She’s one of those people that lifts people’s spirits simply by her being in their orbit. Honestly, she’s pretty dang awesome. Have you ever met someone who just radiates positivity? That’s Nikhat. She’s just one of those people that everyone likes. And, let us tell you why. First, she is very engaged with her clients, and what she puts her mind to. She’s not a therapist who will just sit there, nod her head, and say “uh-huh”. Instead, she get’s right into the thick of things with her clients.

Finding yourself stuck in patterns and cycles that you struggle to get out of, let alone have hope for to change? These patterns might be a well-rehearsed dance with another person or even a full cast of characters, or your internal world rippling outward into your life. By increasing awareness and understanding of what's within you and of the dynamics within your relationships, you can learn to disengage from the ineffective and instead move intentionally toward a more functional, fulfilling way of being.

Elizabeth Freund
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, LMFT

My work involves providing therapeutic support for autistic people, their partners, and parents. I have been doing this work for sixteen years, and have found that mothers and wives of my clients often face significant challenges. For some, these challenges sometimes include their roles as partners or parents, but even moreso, they have to do with finding their place in a world that doesn't support their development and growth. Roles become the most important defining feature expected of them. Helping clients heal their trauma, and find their own, unique paths in life, is work that I find enormously fulfilling.

Golden Valley, MN 55422
Waitlist for new clients
I work with adults who are experiencing grief/loss, anxiety, depression, and life transitions (involving the loss of a loved one, troubling medical news, or anything that requires finding a “new normal”).
Are events in your life leaving you feeling lost or on shaky ground? Do you feel stuck as a result of things happening outside of your control? So often this leads folks to feel overwhelmed and at a loss of hope. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. I strive to create a non-judgmental space where you can discuss experiences and process emotions with the central goal of reaching a new level of insight. With new insight comes new solutions. I respect the experience of my clients and understand the extent to which trauma can complicate how a person sees themselves and their place within the world.

I am passionate about supporting individuals navigating complex trauma, LGBTQ+ affirming care, substance use, neurodivergence, dissociation, relationship issues, and grief. Working with folks feeling stuck, who "have tried everything," or want more from typical therapy is highly important to me. Compassionately challenging you into the person you are meant to be is our goal. My work combines Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Together, we'll help you discover hope, meaning, a deeper understanding of your identity, and a new direction in life.

When faced with the shame and guilt of problematic compulsive behaviors—such as pornography addiction, infidelity, or substance use—many men feel deeply alone and isolated. But these struggles don't exist in a vacuum. Partners and loved ones are often left in the wake, carrying pain, confusion, and betrayal they never asked for. Whether you're the one seeking help for your behaviors or a partner trying to make sense of the hurt you've experienced, your story matters. Healing is possible, and no one should have to navigate it alone. Reaching out is an act of courage—for both the one in recovery and the one who has been hurt.

I help adults process past trauma and navigate how these painful experiences impact their personal well-being and relationships.
You’ve been holding it together for so long, pushing through the stress, the overwhelm, the exhaustion. On the outside, you seem fine, but inside, the anxiety, self-doubt, and pressure to keep going never stop. You might find yourself reacting to life rather than responding, and would do anything to change generational patterns so your children don’t inherit the same struggles. You don’t have to keep doing this alone. I specialize in helping individuals like you reclaim a sense of peace, confidence, and balance. You deserve to feel at ease in your own life.

Pre-Licensed Professional
Golden Valley, MN 55426
I work with teens and adults of all genders in individual therapy, including anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence.
I hold the therapy process with warmth, curiosity, and a sense of possibility. I create an open, non-judgmental space to explore what matters most to you and support meaningful, lasting change. Many clients I work with are thoughtful, capable people who feel challenged by old, outdated stories about themselves. Therapy becomes a place to gently explore these patterns and reconnect with a greater sense of agency and choice. My work is trauma-informed, with significant training in complex and developmental trauma, including NARM, informed by IFS. We move at a pace that supports healthy nervous system regulation and sustainable change.
